Process of Umrah

Virtues of Umrah

In Arabic, Umrah means “to visit a populated place”. Umrah is also called Hajj Al-Asghar i.e. “the small Hajj”. It is Sunnat Al-Muakkadah3 to perform Umrah once in a lifetime. Umrah can be performed throughout the year except during the five days of Hajj.

And Accomplish the Hajj and Umrah for Allah. (The Holy Quran 2:196)

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (r.a.) narrated that Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said Umrah becomes an atonement for the sins between one and the next Umrah. (Bukhari, Muslim)
